Remarks
- Systematics: The genus Anophococcus is similar to the genera Acanthococcus Signoret 1875, Gossyparia Signoret 1875, Rhizococcus Signoret 1875 and Uhleria Cooke 1881, in lacking cruciform pores or discoidal pores on the dorsum. However, Anophococcus differs from the four other genera in having (contrasting character states
in Acanthococcus, Gossyparia, Rhizococcus and Uhleria in parentheses): dorsal enlarged conical setae confined to body margin or restricted to anal lobe (dorsal enlarged conical setae present on most or all of anterior half (cephalothoracic segments)). This morphological character state can sometimes be challenging to discern and may be considered an artificial criterion. Some Anophococcus species, such as An. pseudinsignis (Green 1921) and An. sanguinairensis (Goux 1993), possess well-developed and long dorsal enlarged conical setae not only on the margin but also on the head apex.
Synonymy of this genus with Eriococcus was a subjective decision (Miller & Gimpel, 2000: 106). Some have treated it as a valid genus (Kosztarab & Kozár, 1988; Koteja & Zak-Ogaza, 1981), while others have treated it as a junior subjective synonym of Eriococcus (Hoy, 1963; Williams, 1985a). In Kozár, et al., 2013, Anophococcus was placed in the family, Acanthococcidae Signoret, 1875, but is here kept in Eriococcidae because placement of species outside of the palaearctic are unclear.
- Structure: Ovisac ovoid, felt-like, white or grey completely enclosing female body. Adult female elongate-oval, narrowed posteriorly, with anal lobes conical, slightly sclerotised, antennae 6 usually 7 segmented; frontal lobes usually absent, frontal tubercles present, labium 3 segmented, with 18 setae, of these 12 on apical segment, apical setae of labium about half length, or less of the subapical setae, with well developed segments and a weakly developed basal segment with two pairs of hair-like setae, the outer one about half
length of the inner ones. (Kozár, et al., 2013)
- Biology: Generally found in large colonies. Most species have one yearly generation; usually overwinters in egg, or second nymphal stage; males normally present. (Kozár, et al., 2013)
- General Remarks: Genus diagnosis in Kozár et al. 2013 and Tanaka & Kamitani, 2023.
